  • he wouldn’t have killed a woman colleague or his sister

    But killing a woman with gender as an underlying factor does not mean you’re going to go around killing every woman.

    This is about what factors constitute the motivation for the crime, not necessarily an obsessed serial killer.

    For instance, many murders are racislly motivated - but it doesn’t mean the killer was killing every black person that crossed their path. A famous case in the US had a guy kill a black man, in front of his family, over a misunderstanding and confrontation - he killed the guy because of the confrontation but he only got to the point of killing because he was black, if this were a white person, we would have de-escalated the situation.

    If a woman kills her husband

    Do we have a historical, multi-generational heritage of women dominating the familiar structure and seeing husbands as property?








  • I really non ironically miss the friction of the old internet.

    I prefer how it took time to find some bare HTML university website, slowly browse through an index as if it was a book, and then find one non-SEO optimized page with all the information you needed on a topic for your research.

    The time to browse, being exposed to other terms, having to select the pages yourself, being skeptical by nature, and then having to copy it by hand… This is a much more positive scenario than having a gigantic company learn everything about you and everybody else and then make these decisions for you, using some hidden algorithm, and with the ultimate goal of pushing their newest process. And of course, the content has been rendered virtually useless to appeal to that algorithm.
